"I fished the Yellowstone with Brian during the summer of 2008 and it was the best day of fishing and “catching” that I've had in 20+ years of trout fishing. It was a hot, low water season and we had to stop at 2:00 p.m. to protect the fish from warm water. In spite of the fishing restrictions, it was a 30+ fish day with probably 20-25 rainbows over 16 inches, 12-15 over 18 inches and one lone 19 inch brown with many, many that were hooked, played, and finally got off before we brought them to net/boat. It was the best float day I've ever had. Thanks!"

"I had the time of my life!!! Even though the trip was only 10 days long, it seemed like a month because I was so far out of my office environment! It was wonderful. The guides, the scenery, the wildlife, the water, the fish and the air was worth every penny. I cannot wait to do it again and it is going to be my destination vacation from now on. My memories will stay with me until the next time. Even though I am a novice Fly Fisherwoman, I was told that I did pretty well and caught about 15 fish all in all. (Let's not discuss the ones that got away!) It was great to be transported to another world. I recommend Montana Angler highly, it was a terrific experience. My guides were knowledgeable and treated me like a queen! They spoke to the fish and the fish listened!"

"The Double T is one of those rare perfect places in the world, where the incredible natural beauty (truly staggering and inspiring) of the place is perfectly matched by the utterly relaxed (yet quietly luxurious) atmosphere. From reading on the cabin porch as the river ran past to walking along the many paths, through groves of Aspens, where every turn brought a new, even more beautiful view into focus, the ranch allowed me to find perfect solitude. But, the big green barn was the real heart of the ranch, a gathering place for an afternoon chat and the center of the many raucous, hilarious and truly delicious evenings. I can't (and don't want to) get the Double T out of my mind and can't wait to return."

"Dear Brian, After deferring our fishing trip due to Montana flooding and later again for two bouts of pneumonia, we finally made it to Montana in early October and we were not disappointed with Montana's scenery or fly fishing. Miles, our fishing guide for two days did a great job teaching two neophytes while making fishing fun, exciting and productive. Additionally, Miles recognized that we were still fighting pneumonia and made appropriate adjustments to the fishing trip to make us comfortable and less taxing. We can strongly recommend Montana Angler for a first class fishing experience and Miles as a guide. The accommodations at Rainbow Ranch Lodge was also great. The management went out of their way to insure that we were comfortable and all our needs met. Where else could you find a comfortable cottage with wonderful views."
Best Regards, Barbara and Bill Davies

"Brian, Our fishing tips that we booked with you were outstanding. My kids and I had a great time. Our guides Chuck and Tony were professional, attentive, enjoyable and provided great instruction. They easily adjusted to 3 people with different levels of interest and experience in fly fishing, allowing all of us to really get the most out of the trips and enjoy the fishing in our own way. The rivers we went on were beautiful and we caught tons of fish. The overnight camping was a really fun time, great food and a relaxed atmosphere. The trip definitely met my expectation and we hope to come out and do it again. The Rainbow Ranch was a wonderful place to stay, we especially enjoyed being right on the river. Overall, you did a great job, from early planning figuring out what we wanted, to setting up all the pieces of the itinerary and then the guides were fantastic through out the trip. I had a few suggestions for the camping portion, pillows would make sleeping more comfortable, a flashlight or little lantern in the tents would be convenient and a small piece of indoor/outdoor carpet in front of the tent would keep the tents much cleaner. Thank you and hope to talk to you again for another trip!"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and had a great learning experience with both Sean and Chuck. I concur with your assessment that they are some of the most knowledgeable guides in Montana. On my next fishing trip I will request them by name. They both have different teaching styles but were equally effective. They both loved fly fishing and their passion for teaching was obvious. On a 1-10 scale they were both 10s. Steve and Keith over at the Gallatin River Lodge could not have been nicer. The accommodations were everything I expected and more. They also have some of the prettiest ladies in Montana working there."

"Fly fishing in Montana is something that every fly fisherman can aspire to. Although all the guide services are across the board more expensive than other locations, you cannot go wrong with Montana Anglers. Miles McGeehan is the best of all the guides I have ever used and taught me many new casting skills, as well as enabling me to catch fish on the trip. I highly recommend him."

Jack Schirmer

"My son and I had never been fly fishing and we did a half day lesson/fishing time and came out of it feeling comfortable on being able to try this on our own and appreciating the experience. Scott was very professional, knowledgeable and able to teach us very well in a short time. We will do this again."
